In the course of preparing this book, the author has worked together with distinguished English experts who have successfully taught the subject in various schools. Also, on different occasions, these experts have taken part in a number of courses and seminars on the best approaches to teaching English including on evaluation in relation to development and challenges of teaching the subject.
